22 Days of Teachers at the PCA Retreat 2015- Meet Lisa Renner

Lisa Renner is a mixed-media artist who enjoys making art on many levels. Her interests include art dolls, bookmaking, jewelry, encaustic, and working with polymer clay, particularly creating figurative sculpture. She teaches workshops and enjoys sharing her techniques and creations with others.

One of her handmade Faux-Ivory polymer clay books is part of the permanent exhibit at The Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic, Connecticut. Her work has been featured in publications such as Art Doll Quarterly, Polymer Café, and Somerset Studios. She has been published in several books, most recently: “The International Contemporary Artists, Volume V”, and “Incite: Dreams Realized, The Best of Mixed Media” by Northlight Books.

Lisa is a member of both the International Polymer Clay Association, and the International Encaustic Association. When she’s not working at her “day-job” where she has been for 23 years, she loves cooking, entertaining with her family and friends, and spending as much time as possible in her studio designing new workshops and creating art.
